Today, the Minnesota Corn Research & Promotion Council (MCR&PC) is excited to officially welcome its 2022-23 leadership team into their new positions.
Clarkfield farmer Doug Albin is serving as MCR&PC chair in 2022-23. Gary Prescher is serving as vice chair, Duane Epland is serving as treasurer and John Mages is serving as secretary. Their terms run through June 30, 2023.

The Minnesota Corn Research & Promotion Council is responsible for the effective management of the Minnesota corn check-off. Each year, MCR&PC members invest corn check-off funds in programs and initiatives aimed at boosting on-farm profitability and sustainability while enhancing quality of life for corn farmers and all Minnesotans.
See how your Minnesota corn check-off is at work for you.
Minnesota Corn congratulates Doug, Gary, Duane and John on their new positions and is excited to see all the council accomplishes under their tutelage.
